Critics Consensus

Joaquin Phoenix's eponymous Joker takes the stand in a sequel that dances around while the story remains still, although Lady Gaga's wildcard energy gives Folie á Deux some verve.

Audience Says

A broken Joker and his Lady’s voice provide Folie à Deux with enough kindling to keep a tepid fire burning for the clown prince of crime.

Joker: Folie a Deux is a masterpiece. Not a once-in-a-generation masterpiece but an ambitious and emotionally intelligent film that challenges everything it touches.

I was often bored, occasionally disgusted and only mildly entertained.

Set on tediously considering its predecessor, Joker: Folie à Deux offers nothing to the franchise.

Film Frenzy

Seeking a minority opinion? Here’s one: Joker: Folie à Deux is superior to 2019's Joker in just about every way. There’s still plenty that’s wrong with it, but it’s no wonder incel supporters of the first film as well as fanboy critics hate it.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Stories

It starts out as a twisted, exhilarating love story between Joker and Lee, which is then forced to make room for a dull courtroom drama that mostly discusses the events of the first film.

Rated: 2/5

Milana Vujkov

Lola On Film

A failed musical courtroom melodrama, whose bloated agenda betrayed Phoenix’s singular creation, a living entity of its own, haunting the popular mythos, which is possibly the worst thing storytellers can do.

Rated: 1/5

Sorry, but I didn’t enjoy it. The first one was by far the best!

Absolute garbage. Terrible idea to make this a musical and what an awful ending telling the audience everything you just saw doesn’t matter to the “Joker” storyline.

Despite being a step down from the first film, Joker: Folie a Deux expounds upon its predecessor’s themes and embraces the chaos and utter tragedy of the character that it’s based on.

The movie itself is a big tease and the entire movie builds up to the big reveal at the end but it never happens so I get the bad reviews. But I believe the movie is deeply misunderstood. This was a musical even though the singing was pretty bad but it was the creativity and gut by the director willing to try this. The ending was a shock and made the movie and the series that much more interesting. I loved it.
